Doha: THE One Qatar hosted its 11th annual blood donation campaign.
It aimed to raise awareness about the urgent need for more blood donors and boosting Hamad Medical Corporation’s dwindling blood supplies. 
Sixty-three donors registered of whom 18 employees and 16 customers qualified to donate blood, which can save up to 102 lives.
In 2013, THE One was recognised by HMC’s blood donor unit for being one of the 12 companies in Qatar to consistently lead and organise mobile blood donation campaigns, in addition to voluntarily donating blood. 
In the past 10 years, THE One has helped generate over 250 pints of donated blood which could potentially save up to 750 lives, an officials statement said.The Peninsula
